Chapter 33: Confessions
I went to Roxas room to tell him everything I feel for him, but it seemed he was already asleep so I decided not to bother him. Tomorrow, tomorrow will be the day… I'll be up early in order to tell him before we leave for our respective missions…
The next day, Xion was running through the halls of the Organization since she had overslept. She soon arrived to an empty Grey Area, except for Saix who was on the couches checking in some papers. Xion sighed and ran towards him.
-I'm so sorry. I know I'm late, but I'm ready to leave for my mission. –she said firmly, Saix got an eye on her hair who was all messy, strangely for someone like Xion who cared a lot for her appearance.
-I have no mission for you today. For some odd reason, no Heartless have been reported in any world except for Agrabah which is where Roxas is right now. –Saix explained returning to his papers, Xion was surprised to hear this
-Really? And what if I go and help Roxas in Agrabah? –the girl asked, Saix shook his head
-Roxas mission is easy. You'll just waste your time if you go. You can have the day off.
-…Okay. –Xion shrugged
The girl started leaving the Grey Area thinking in what she could while on of his friends returned from mission. Busy on her thoughts, she didn't pay attention to where she was going until she hit someone and fell to the floor.
-Watch your step, Number XIV. –a deep voice said, Xion immediately looked up afraid by the voice and just as she suspected, Xemnas was staring at her.
-I…I'm so…so sorry. Lord Xemnas. –the girl apologized quickly getting on her feet. Suddenly, Xion opened her eyes like plates as an idea popped in her head, Xemnas noticed this.
-Is everything okay?
-Actually…I want to ask you something. –the girl said after a short silence
-What is it?
-Ummm….the other day… Axel said you found Roxas on Twilight Town before he joined the Organization. So…where did you found me? Where was the first time you looked at me? –the girl asked, Xemnas was surprised by the question, but he didn't show it
-Why so interested in that?
-I want to know more about me…like who I was before being a Nobody and all that…-the girl added, Xemnas stare at her and smiled. Xion gasped as Xemnas started walking away
-Don't let you curiosity take the best of you. Sometimes it's better to stay in the dark. –he said before leaving, Xion stare at him confused
-But… -the girl mumbled to herself, but then sighed resigned.
A few hours later, Axel was arriving to the Clock Tower where Roxas was already waiting for him, with his ice cream on hand. The pyro smiled since he thought that it was early for one of his friends to be there yet.
-You're early… -he smiled
-Easy mission. –the guy shrugged, Axel laughed and sat beside him and giving a bite to his ice cream, after a short silence he talked again
-By any chance…has Xion talked with you about…something? –the pyro asked taking a moment to choose his words correctly, Roxas shook his head
-Nope. What does she want to talk about? –Roxas asked intrigued, Axel knew he had screw it then and tried to think in something
-I don't know. She told me she wanted to talk with you.
-And you couldn't ask why?
-Nope. It didn't crossed my mind. –Axel said shrugging, Roxas sighed
-I'll ask her when she comes.
-Well you can do it now. –Axel said pointing at dark corridor forming behind them were Xion later stepped from. The girl looked at Roxas eyes and took a deep breath.
-Hey guys. –she smiled sitting next to Roxas, Axel noticed Xion's messy hair and laughed
-Hey Xion, what's wrong with your hair?
-Oh, it's just I overslept and I didn't had time to brush it. I later realized I didn't had a mission for today… -the girl explained, Roxas and Axel stared at each other and then at Xion
-And why didn't you brush it then? –Roxas asked
-Because I forgot. –the girl simply replied
-And you didn't saw yourself on a mirror on all the entire day? –Axel asked again, Xion took a deep breath starting to get frustrated by all the questions
-No…
-But you have a mirror in your…
-ENOUGH! WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH IF I BRUSH MY HAIR OR NOT? IT'S MY DECISION TO DO WHAT I WANT WITH IT, NOT YOURS! –Xion yelled at his two friends angrily. Roxas and Axel apologized quickly after this, Xion could be very mean when she wanted to.
-Looks like someone is on her days… -Axel whispered Roxas when Xion turned around, Roxas stare back at Axel
-What do you mean? –he asked innocently, Axel looked at him and shook his head
-Nothing, I sometimes forget you're just a kid.
I'm sorry guys, it's just I have a lot on my mind. –the girl apologized
-It's okay. –Roxas smiled at her. After a small silence Xion started to get frustrated again, but tried to control herself this time
-So…you're not going to ask what's wrong with me or something?
-We want to, but you just scold us for asking you too much, remember? –Axel reminded, Xion stare back at his two friends who were grinning at her
-You two are so stupid. –the girl smiled
-Okay, enough insulting for one day. What's wrong with you? –Axel asked
-It's just I asked Xemnas if he knew where do I come from or who I was before being a Nobody but he just said: "Don't let you curiosity take the best of you. Sometimes it's better to stay in the dark."
-What he meant by that? –Roxas asked, Xion sighed
-I don't know. Maybe I was a bad person before, and he doesn't want me to find out. –the girl sighed depressed, Roxas placed a hand on her shoulder
-I'm sure you were a nice person, Xion. You were a nice, pretty and smart girl. Just like now, right Axel? –Roxas asked
-You want to be sure about it? Well, there's a computer on Xemnas Office as you may had noticed on your visits there. There's information about every member on it, so… you two could search anything you want.
-Really? That's great! We could sneak into Xemnas Office tonight and search what we need!
-Yeah, but you'll have to be quick. You don't want Xemnas to find out do you? –Axel warned
-Don't worry. Will you help me Roxas? –
-Sure. –the boy smiled, the girl smiled back and then took a bite to her ice cream
-Okay, now that I solved your problem…didn't you said you needed to talk with Roxas, Xion? –Axel asked, the girl immediately started coughing and to get nervous
-Oh right, Axel said you wanted to talk with me, what's wrong? –the guy asked kindly, after Xion managed to swallow her ice cream, she glared at Axel who just shrugged with a big smile on his face. The girl sighed and nodded
-Yeah… Roxas… I… it's… it's hard for me to say this…but… -Xion tried to said starting to blush and getting even more nervous
-Xion, you're turning red…are you okay? –Roxas said placing his hand on Xion's forehead checking her temperature.
-Maybe…I need to leave you two alone. –Axel said getting on her feet but Xion stopped him
-NO! There are not secrets between us, right? Then I need you to be here on this special moment! –Xion yelled, Axel and Roxas were surprised by Xion's words.
-But Xion… this doesn't concern me and…
-It concerns you, understood? –Xion interrupted
-"Special moment?" –Roxas said, but no one listened
-Sit there! –Xion ordered Axel. The guy nodded and quickly sit back
-Xion, what's wrong? –Roxas asked, Xion took a deep breath and continued with her talk
-Roxas is just…I…l…It's nothing. Forget it. –Xion said depressed turning around
-What!? No, Xion! Tell him yourself or I'll do it! –Axel warned, Xion turned back alarmed
-What!? No Axel don't do it! –Xion pleaded, but Axel ignored him
-Roxas, what Xion wants to tell you is that she is in…
-LALALALALAALA… -Xion interrupted, Roxas stare at each of his friends argue and decided he had enough
-SHUT UP, YOU TWO! Xion, you said we didn't had secrets, what are you hiding me? –Roxas asked staring at Xion's blue eyes
-Roxas…
-Please, Xion… -the blonde guy pleaded, Xion sighed and smiled
-…You know what they say: "Actions speak louder than words" –the girl scooted closer to Roxas, placed her hand on his cheek and started getting closer to Roxas making him nervous
The girl slowly closed her eyes and finally placed her lips on Roxas'. This action made Roxas and Axel open their eyes widely because none of them expected anything like this. After a short time, the girl broke the kiss and opened her eyes noticing Roxas was as red as she surely was. Roxas was staring at her still not believing what had just happened.
-…Xion -the boy whispered
-Is it clear now? I know what you feel and I want you to know I feel the same way… -the girl said lowly, but loud enough for Roxas to hear
-I've been feeling this for a long time, but I was scared…
-I know how you felt… considering we have no emotions or feelings... –Xion joked
-I don't care if they say we need hearts to feel with. I know my feelings for you are real, Xion… -Roxas smiled taking a grip on the girl's hand. Xion smiled back
-Yeah… who cares what Axel says?
-Hello, I'm still here! –Axel interrupted
-Trust me, we know. –Roxas said smiling at Axel
-So…what do we do now? –the girl asked, Roxas shrugged and then the two teens looked at Axel waiting for an answer
-I don't know…who cares what Axel says anyway? –the pyro shrugged
-Are you mad? –Xion asked with fear, Axel chuckled and shook his head. He knew well enough Xion to know it was a bad idea to tease her like that. If there was something the girl hated was that her friends were mad at her for something.
-I'm okay. You don't have to ask me what to do, you can do what you want. Have a relationship like on movies if you want… -Axel suggested
-Well…that depends if you want to have a relationship, Xion… -Roxas asked, Xion smiled
-Of course I want, what about you?
-Are you kidding? I've been waiting for this for months! –Roxas exclaimed, Xion giggled
-Alright, I guess that means we're girlfriend and boyfriend, right? –the girl asked, Roxas nodded
-Yeah! –Roxas replied enthusiastically, Axel laughed
-Not too romantic, but still a better love story than Twilight! –Axel teased
-Hey shut up, you know I love that movie! –Xion replied with a smile
-Yeah, stop bothering my girlfriend, will ya'? –Roxas smiled, the girl blushed a little at this
-Alright I'm sorry, I surely don't want to fight with a bad guy like you! –Axel said faking an apologize. The trio started laughing hard after all of this. They stayed in silence a short time after this, until Xion spoke again…
-Axel…what do boyfriends and girlfriends do beside kissing? –the girl asked. Axel stare at her and sighed resigned
-I have a lot of explaining to do. –Axel smiled
